Almost Out of Michigan


Today was a slow day as we took our time getting ready, this morning, and drove for several hours to Menominee, MI which is on the shore of Lake Michigan and right across the river from Wisconsin. Tomorrow, we drive to Madison, WI.

Food - Had lunch in the remote Jolly Inn in the tiny tiny town of Germfask, MI. My highlight was the homemade Cream of Mushroom soup. The other food highlight was a trip to the really nice Menominee grocery store. Items that were plentiful in the store included herring, sausages, pickles, liverwurst, and cheese product (i.e. various cheese curds). We did buy some samples of all those (except the liverwurst). Oh yes, and got some chicken soup with homemade dumplings which seems to be the soup-of-the-day in nearly every place we stop.

No sightseeing today...except that we did stop for a photo as we entered the tiny town of Ingalls, Mich.

Another feature I'm adding to the blog is to point out some of the details of life-on-the-road...

The RV Life - The question we are asked most often is: What do we do about our mail? We handle a lot of our business online so that minimizes the mail we receive. The mail we do receive goes to a mail forwarding service in Florida. They post, online, the return addresses of mail we receive. Every couple weeks or when we see something we want immediately, we tell the service where to send our mail. The service we use is very good.
